"Anyone on a "glutenfree" diet ? if so....how do-able is it and does it taste ok ? I have done it off and on and when stick to it I feel so good ! My advice would be to avoid gluten free alternative type products !! They are full of other crap that make it that it taste and bind better If you have time make your own bread etc with rice flour or almond flour etc ! It's also a guaranteed way to shift any unwanted weight ! Good luck with it ! " Exactly this. The gluten free products are expensive and really don't taste that good with the exception of Asda pasta. It's surprisingly easy to eat gluten free and after only a week you will feel the benefits. Good luck. x | |||

"Anyone on a "glutenfree" diet ? if so....how do-able is it and does it taste ok ? " not on a diet but I buy gluten free pasta. It's a lot more expensive than regular but it stops the bloated feeling in one | |||

"Thanks all Im gonna try and eat loads of raw veggies again as that helped bigtime last year and meant i wasnt eating bread etc. Bread is my biggest down fall im afraid so will miss that lime marmalade on toast. But i love rye bread, so may use that " As I say try organic sourdough instead. It's more expensive but just buy less and make sure you use it all (lots of great leftover bread recipes, try panzanilla). | |||

"The products might SEEM expensive but I look at it this way ..... No one bats an eyelid at spending £1 or £2 on a choc bar or £3 - £5 on shit like pizza .. So a couple of quid on good food that makes you feel great is okay " | |||

"If you avoid grain based products as part of a low carb diet it's easy anyway, no need for processed substitutes." I made my first ever batch of oopsie rolls this evening. Surprisingly effective. | |||

"Has anyone made a gluten free cheese sauce ? I love tuna pasta with cheese sauce and always made my own cheese sauce but am unsure if it will work as easily with different flour. I cant use almond flour." Yes, just use an all purpose GF flour, the supermarkets all do them now. From my experience the GF flours tend to be drier. So add more moisture to a recipe, extra egg, bit of water or juice etc. With cheese sauce it might need a bit more milk | |||

"If you avoid grain based products as part of a low carb diet it's easy anyway, no need for processed substitutes. I made my first ever batch of oopsie rolls this evening. Surprisingly effective. What is an oopsie roll? Sounds intriguing. " Separate 3 eggs. Beat the hell out of the whites with a pinch of salt. Then mix up the yolks with half a pack of low fat cream cheese, half a teaspoon of baking powder and half a tablespoon of almond flour or whatever grain substitute you like (that bit can be left out but I wanted some structure to them). Fold the cheesy yolky mix into the beaten egg whites. Then dollop into 6 rounds on a greased baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 140 (mine's a fan) for 30 or so minutes until they go golden. They're like flattish bap type things. | |||

"Yes, but naturally gluten free only. Any ‘free from’ type products are a usually a chemical shit storm and often more horrendous than the ‘normal’ ones. It’s really not that hard, but people tend to not want to cut out stuff and would rather just have gluten free alternatives. If you want some interesting info, have a look at Wheat Belly or Grain Brain books, fascinating yet scary stuff. TB" The GF stuff iv used so far has been ok although i tend to cook from scratch anyway and we mainly eat fairly uncomplicated food so its usually pretty good. Love jacket spuds which we ate fairly often anyway plus plain meals of meat such as chicken/pork loin chops, potatoes and veg with gf gravy. Ive got gf pasta so we can use that. I have bought gf flour to make cakes and biscuits just as an experiment while off work and they are ok. We eat lots of veg anyway as a filler. Gf bread is ok ish and needed for simple packed lunches and iv made it into a gf bread n butter pudding to have instead of sandwiches at times. Its going ok so far except for a day out sunday where no cafe/pub had a gf alternative | |||

Eating out can be tricky as GF, no potatoes and low carb/Keto but just give me a steak and veg/salad or burger without the bun and fries and I’m happy. It’s as hard as you want to make it IMO.

TB" Sunday was impossible as no steak or burger but i dont eat them anyway as i dont like them. No veg or salad. So i had to eat ordinary bread as no choice. I hadnt realised we were spending the day in an area with no choices of gf food. Normally id have jacket spud. It was impossible unless i didnt eat at all. I didnt 'make it' hard ! | |||

Sure, some situations are harder to deal with than others and then you just have to do the best you can. Personally I just wouldn’t have eaten as having anything unsuitable is more trouble than it’s worth. That is easier for me though as being fat adapted and eating Keto, I can easily fast for quite prolonged periods without it being an issue. TB | |||

Im not suposed to fast/go without food either gf or not. Id have ended up in an ambulance then hospital. I didnt take gf food with me cus i wasnt in the back of beyond or so i thought. My other allergies/health problems were catered for easily. Thanks for the help. | |||

"Sorry you're poorly Nellie. I've just been advised to eat a gluten free diet, it's difficult finding stuff to eat and a whole new lifestyle change for me! Been doing a bit of googling and looking at stuff in the supermarkets, not sure how I'll get on when I go out to eat. Also trying to reduce my cholesterol by diet changes, so feel a bit overwhelmed at the moment, but I'll get used to it!" Thank you. It is overwhelming but mainly we easily eat gf at home now. Just when we go out its sometimes difficult. Thankfully im not ill due to eating gluten lol | |||
